Industrial Air & Gas Compressors Report - 2014

Preston Reine, Analyst

2014

The performance of the market for industrial air & gas compressors is linked closely to the
performance of key industry sectors and global economic conditions. The significance of these
two factors has never been more apparent than in the last few years as the world economy
continues to recover from a global recession, a process that has been prolonged by ongoing
weakness in some Eurozone economies and a marked slowdown of the Chinese economy.
However, many opportunities for growth exist in the current market, and IHS has a favorable
outlook for air and gas compressor manufacturers in the near term.
With its expertise on the motor and drive markets, IHS brings a unique and novel perspective to
analyzing the global markets for industrial air & gas compressors. During the course of this
research study, IHS also considered the driving equipment utilized with compressors, allowing
the reader to better understand the technological trends affecting these markets.
